an arch wherethro'

"I am a part of all that I have met; yet all experience is an arch wherethro' gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move."

Africa Freedom Day

May 25, Africa Freedom Day, is a national holiday across most of Africa. It represents an end to colonial control. All public offices and schools were closed and our classes here at GBCC did not meet. They just forgot to tell us about it ahead of time. It is strange to be standing at the front of a classroom waiting for 80 students to come to class and not one of them shows up. It can be really rough on your ego!

We had another day working at the Haven. Hamilton has survived another day and he looked a little stronger. Our goal is to see him through. There are several kids we thought we were going to lose last year that are going strong so we shall see. These photos are just a couple of photos that I have taken at the Haven.

Tomorrow we head for Livingstone to see the "moonbow" created by the full moon over Victoria Falls. There are supposed to be only a couple of places in the world where you can see one and the next couple of days at Victoria Falls is supposed to be an ideal time to view it.
